American exceptionalism is so fucking annoying. Their country is failing to a point hopefully this first person shit rightfully corrects to third person.

When's the last time the US nationalised something?

I disagree.

  1. You already have a government space agency. Maybe give them more funding so they don't have to rely on space-x to get their stuff into orbit?

  2. There's a national telecom network already in place. It at least has the potential to be faster and more reliable, if it isn't already... At least compared to low earth orbit satellite coverage.

There's no good reason to continue providing Elon or his companies with any government handouts. Pull that funding and give it to.... I dunno, students who have more debt than homeowners with a mortgage..... NASA.... Literally anything that helps people?

No, we should regain control of our nation from fascists (this does not mean just replace the President), then nationalize SpaceX and Starlink, and make telecoms public utilities.

Yeah. Let’s give Trump that power.

Quite ironic from people constantly accusing their political adversaries to be communists...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Errr... am I mistaken? This is the first time I'm hearing about nationalizing SpaceX and it's from Jacobin....

Does Jacobin make a habit of calling people communists? Pretty sure they advocate for socialist positions usually....

I would suggest that maybe you should leave SpaceX alone, if you want to still have a space program.

Maybe think about to nationalize healthcare insurance, it seems to be something more usefull

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah wait until we we have someone in power who gives a shit about science and then re-fund NASA and nationalize SpaceX under the NASA umbrella. (Pipe dreams, I know)
